The third and final Godfather saga; not for kids.December 12, 2007
The movie, a heady thicket of political intrigue and double crosses, is slower, talkier, and more prosaic than the first two films, and its narrative seams sometimes show. And yet it's more than the sum of its mazelike convolutions.May 20, 2003
Most film sequels are strictly optional. The Godfather Part III is inevitable, and as such it's irresistible.October 08, 2008
This hits have gotten bigger, and the violence has gotten bloodier. It's less of an examination of family and more of a character piece for Michael.May 12, 2014
[...] a crushing disappointment. It's a sluggish movie with nothing to say about the moral rot of the powerful that the first two parts didn't say much better [...]March 28, 2011
The film is a slow fuse with a big bang -- one that echoes through every family whose own tragedy is an aching for things past and loved ones lost.December 12, 2007
The Godfather Part III matches its predecessors in narrative intensity, epic scope, socio-political analysis, physical beauty and deep feeling for its characters and milieu.March 09, 2011
The third (and final) chapter of Coppola's epic crima saga is the weakest in terms of narrative and acting, but it still has artistic merits.September 17, 2008
...didn't live up to expectations but turned out to be a pretty good movie in any case.June 24, 2006
The acting is merely passable, several characters are given nothing to do, and Michael's paranoid self-pity lends the film an absurd morality: Coppola expects us to sympathise with the semblance of virtue.October 06, 2008
While it's better than your average film in a lot of respects, it simply cannot hold up to the legacy of its predecessors.December 12, 2007
Represents a certain moral improvement over its predecessors by refusing to celebrate and condemn violence and duplicity in the same breath, or at least to the same degree.
